Takata recall. My car has around 35,000 miles on it. The past few days in the morning, when I start my car, it starts but then hesitates. It will hesitate for around 20 seconds. The car was in park, in a driveway of a house. I think it only happens when the car has been off for a period of time.

I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot with about 33,474 miles when the problem occurred. I was driving going home in a busy street in los angeles when all of a sudden the malfunction indicator light (mil) and electronic stability control (ESC) (see photos) light showed up on the dashboard and I stopped because the traffic light turned red. I had 3 passengers with me and they were trying to google what the dashboard light means. When the light turned green, I started to drive but the engine was stalling, as if it doesn't want to drive, no power. So I parked at the curb, turned off the ignition and waited for a few seconds then turned the ignition on again. The ESC disappeared from the dashboard but the mil remained lit up. I was able to drive home and the next day, took the vehicle to my mechanic. My mechanic replaced the throttle body and it's working fine now. I noticed the difference in the performance of the vehicle before and after the throttle was changed. I am reporting this to you because I have heard news and got a letter from a law firm informing me of a number of mechanical defects reported about the vehicle. At this point, I am too late to bring it to a Jeep dealer for repair because the vehicle is out of warranty.

Car has less than 30K miles. Issue has been recurrent since purchasing-- now, its to the point that we are too afraid to drive death trap. Car engine dies while driving and vehicle is inoperable. While driving on the highway at approximately 60 mph, the car completely stopped I was barely able to get it over onto the shoulder. Check engine and electronic throttle control lights were on. Now, the problem occurs more frequently. There's no warning prior to car completely dying. This has happened twice on the highway almost getting us killed. It also occurred while driving down side sides/main roads since we now fear driving on the highway people will be killed by this - if they haven't been so far

A light comes on and the car starts slowing down so you must pull over until the light goes out, but it happens again and again. It is so dangerous to be stuck on the side of the road or in the middle of an intersection. The dealership has had the car many times and said there is nothing they can do even though I have a lifetime warranty. It is like owning a golf cart. There are many people on the internet with the same issue. It should be a recall!

- Punta Gorda, FL, USA

Just 15,983 miles on this vehicle. When driving and accelerating the engine loses power and the lightening bolt comes on the instrument cluster. It loses power in traffic. At 70 mph. All of this. It appears to be the throttle body. Looking around the internet, it is a very common issue. Ridiculous at just 15,983 miles

- Monrovia, MD, USA

This has happened 4 times in less then a 6 months period. I would be driving then out of no where my vehicle jerks my check engine light comes on and I can not accelerate past 20 mph. I have to manage to pull to the side somewhere to restart my car so it will drive somewhat normally. The check engine light remains on. One error code said there was a leaking hose but they found nothing leaking and couldn't figure out what was wrong.

I purchased a brand new 2014 Jeep Patriot latitude from marshall Dodge in crittenden (which should be shut down for horrible customer service after purchasing!) was a great car for the first little bit. I can no longer depend on this vehicle on the interstate. At interstate speed (65-70 mph) the car will begin to make a squeal noise and within five minutes I am playing leap frog to get to the emergency lane at max speed of (20 mph) and the vehicle is very jerky. When it does this all fluids in the car are fine, give it about 20 minutes and the car will act normal, but I cannot trust it to get back on the interstate. This has been going on for two years. I've taken it back to the dealership that I purchased it from and their useless extended warranty and nothing gets done! I have continually been told they cannot find any signs via computer it has done anything like this or after keeping it for two weeks driving it and looking it over it has no reason to. It is beginning to happen more frequently and am frustrated I can trust my original vehicle (thankfully I didn't trade it in to that crooked dealership) that has almost 200,000 miles on it, a 2004 Scion tc, more than a vehicle I bought brand new that started becoming unreliable with 36,000 miles on it. I feel like I bought a lemon and the dealership doesn't want to fix it. This vehicle cannot be trusted to get to a to B and I feel like I am getting screwed by my Jeep dealership and Jeep. There should be a recall on this, the more I research the more common it is; or Jeep should have to make these vehicles right, because they are extremely dangerous and could cause a major accident on the interstate! if it is never made right you can bet I will never own another Jeep product and I will be sure let my family and friends know just how dangerous they are!

- Falmouth, KY, USA

Takata recall- 3 dash lights on etc, mil, and ESC activational malfunction indicator light on- car makes sputtering loud noise and stalls/turns off quickly after starting. Car will not accelerate and is jerking/hard to press breaks. Feels dangerous like car is going to shut off at any moment. This started last night when 3 lights appeared on dash but car sounded normal. Shortly after it shut off and has gone decreasingly down hill.this sounds like a recall issued for Jeep Patriots but does not cover my VIN number.
